PAN DE SAL - FILIPINO BREAD ROLLS
The dough for this rolls are made using a bread maker. No more kneading! These rolls taste fantastic, best I've ever had. Bread improver is easy to find in some countries, but if it is not available, you may leave it out.

Steps:
- Place the yeast, bread flour, bread improver, sugar, salt, margarine, eggs, and 1 cup of evaporated milk into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle, and press start.
- When the cycle has ended, remove the dough from the machine, and form into 2 inch balls. Dip each ball in the remaining evaporated milk, then in the dry bread crumbs. Place the rolls on a baking sheet crumb-side up. Cover loosely with a cloth or plastic, and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake rolls for 8 minutes, or until golden brown on the top and bottom.

Steps:
- Pour yeast into water. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and set aside to soften, about 7 minutes.
- Mix 1/4 cup sugar, oil, and salt together in a bowl. Add softened yeast mixture and 1/2 of the flour. Mix well. Add remaining flour little by little, mixing constantly, until dough does not stick to the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. Form into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Brush surface of dough with more vegetable oil and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- Punch dough down and roll into 2-inch rounds. Cover rolls with 1/2 of the fine bread crumbs and let rise again, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cut rounds into 1 1/2-inch pieces and arrange on a slightly greased baking sheet, cut-side up. Sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes more.
- Bake in the preheated oven until slightly brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:
- Use warm water (105-115°F) to activate the yeast. Lukewarm water will kill the yeast, while cold water will slow down the rising process.
- Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the correct order. This will help to ensure that the bread rises properly.
- Use fresh yeast. Old yeast may not have enough active cultures to leaven the bread properly.
- If you are using a bread machine with a delayed start timer, be sure to add the yeast last. This will prevent the yeast from coming into contact with the salt and sugar before it has a chance to activate.
- Once the bread is baked, remove it from the bread machine and let it cool on a wire rack. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Filipino pandesal bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you are using a bread machine or a traditional oven, these tips will help you to make the perfect pandesal bread. So go ahead and give it a try!
